“You know, this is the only commencement speech that I’m giving this year and so I’ve watched a few highlights of graduation speeches where this or that corporate leader will discuss artificial intelligence, AI, and be met with literal boos,” Vance said as he wrapped up his remarks.
“Now, you can’t boo me. I’m the vice president of the United States,” he added, drawing laughs.
that’s pretty cringe
I mean c’mon - I hate the guy too but that seems pretty cut and dry as a joke to me.
It was a joke when Jeb said “Please clap”, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was also sad and pathetic
And had it come from any other politician in a different country, it actually might have been a funny one
Coming from this guy, it wasn’t a joke, though, it was a threat
It’s the kind of joke only a loser asshole would make. “It’s just a joke” is the stupidest defense used by the stupidest people.
